Making your own bracelets is a fantastic way to personalize your style, create thoughtful gifts, and unleash your creativity. In this post, we’re excited to share not one, but two simple bracelet tutorials that are perfect for beginners. Whether you’re a seasoned crafter or just starting, these techniques are easy to master and produce stunning results.
Spiral Knot Bracelet: A Whimsical Twist
The spiral knot bracelet is exactly what it sounds like — a bracelet built by repeatedly tying a knot that creates a beautiful spiral effect. It is easy to do, but looks awesome and intricate.
What You’ll Need:
- Embroidery floss, cotton string, or macrame cord (your choice of color!)
- Scissors
- Tape or clipboard
Easy Steps:
- Prepare Your Cords: Cut two pieces of cord to your desired length (leaving extra length for tying).
- Attach the Cords: Anchor the cords with tape or a clipboard.
- The Spiral Knot: Take the left strand, cross it OVER the right strand, bring it around and pull it up through the loop.
- Repeat, Repeat, Repeat: Repeat knotting with the same side until your bracelet is the desired length.
- Finishing: Tie off the bracelet and trim excess cords, or add beads and a clasp!
Square Knot Bracelet: Simple, Stylish, and Secure
The square knot is a fundamental knot in macrame, and it’s perfect for creating a simple, stylish, and durable bracelet. This classic design is versatile and can be customized with different colors and embellishments.
What You’ll Need:
- Embroidery floss, cotton string, or macrame cord (two colors or one – your choice!)
- Scissors
- Tape or clipboard
Easy Steps:
- Prepare Your Cords: Cut two pieces of cord to your desired length (leaving extra length for tying).
- Attach the Cords: Anchor the cords with tape or a clipboard.
- First knot Grab the LEFT side, move it OVER the middle two strands and UNDER the right side.
- Second knot Take the RIGHT side, OVER the middle two strands, and UP through the loop on the left.
- Repeat, Repeat, Repeat: Repeat the knotting with the right and left sides, alternating. Continue until your bracelet is the desired length.
- Finishing: Tie off the bracelet and trim excess cords, or add beads and a clasp!
Additional Tips & Tricks
- Customize with Colors: Experiment with different color combinations to create unique designs.
- Add Beads: Incorporate beads into your bracelets for extra flair. Simply string the beads onto your cords as you’re knotting.
- Adjust Length: Make sure to measure your wrist before starting to ensure a perfect fit.
- Tighten Knots: For a more durable bracelet, pull the knots tight as you create them.
